What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (child seat harness failure) that creates a significant risk of injury in a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Baby Trend, Inc. is recalling certain Hybrid LX 3-in-1 Centennial booster seats (model FB58181) manufactured on July 23, 2016, and Hybrid LX 3-in-1 Kiwi booster seats (model FB48417) manufactured on July 14, 2016. The affected child seats have a center adjuster rivet that may pull through or break if the harness is being used with a child weighing more than 40 lbs. As a result, these child seats fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
In the event of a crash, the child seat occupant is at an increased risk of injury due to the potential failure of the harness component. The recall began on February 13, 2017.
Owners should contact Baby Trend customer service at 1-800-328-7363 to have the child seat replaced or to receive a full refund. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov for additional information.
